Separation of the renal pelvis refers to dilatation of the renal pelvis and calyces, and increase in the anterior and posterior diameters of the renal pelvis. It may be caused by excessive holding of urine for examination, or it may be related to kidney stones, ureteral malformation, hydronephrosis and other causes.
If the separation of the renal pelvis is caused by excessive holding of urine for examination, it is necessary to clarify whether the cause exists under the guidance of the doctor first. After eliminating this cause, it may also be related to kidney stones, ureteral malformation, hydronephrosis and other causes.
1. Kidney stone: It is mainly cystitis caused by kidney stone, which obstructs the urethra and makes urination difficult, leading to separation of the renal pelvis due to enlargement of the renal pelvis. Extracorporeal lithotripsy or surgical treatment is required under the guidance of specialized doctors.
2. Ureteral malformation: congenital developmental abnormality leads to ureteral malformation, which prevents urine from draining out normally, thus leading to separation of the renal pelvis. Surgery is needed to improve the deformity under the guidance of surgeon.
3. Hydronephrosis: It means that urine is blocked from being discharged from the renal pelvis and accumulates in the kidneys, leading to renal hypoplasia and thus causing separation of the renal pelvis, which can be considered to be relieved by puncture and drainage under the guidance of the surgeon.
If patients check out the separation of renal pelvis, they must go to the hospital in time, improve the examination under the guidance of the doctor, and cooperate with the doctor to actively search for the cause of the disease, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
